I need to get some photos taken so I can participate in this. I have a great soup/comfort food recipe that has been a family favorite for ages. Plus I just designed a very super simple dishcloth and posted it here in the CAL thread... This sounds like fun!

[Amy]

Recipes don't HAVE to have photos submitted with them, but we'll be very happy to publish them if people do include them.

 

It's always nice to see a photo of what something is supposed to look like!

I just emailed you a recipe and crochet pattern with pictures. Let me know if you didn't get it.
